Get monitor configuration data for layout adaptation
AI agents call get_monitors to retrieve information from Moom MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves system information (monitor configuration) without modifying, executing code, deleting data, or triggering external operations. It is a read-only data retrieval function used to query the current display setup, typical of passive diagnostic tools.
From the tool's definition Tool name is 'get_monitors' and description states it retrieves 'monitor configuration data' — a purely informational query with no side effects.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
Get monitor configuration data for layout adaptation. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Moom MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Moom MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_monitors: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Moom MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_monitors is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_monitors rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_monitors. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
get_monitors is provided by the Moom MCP Server MCP server (itrimble/moom-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
